What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
What is the hemisphere on the moon planet?
Any half of a planet with a great circle as a boundary can be called a hemisphere. Most often the equator is used as a boundary dividing the planet into a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere. The Earth has an accepted "prime meridian" (which runs through Greenwich England) and the continuation of that meridian divides the Earth into an eastern and a western hemisphere.
How many faces are on the moon?
The Moon has no faces. It has one side facing Earth called the near side, and one side that is always facing away called the far side.
Why is one side of the earth always in darkness?
One side of the Earth is always in darkness because the Earth rotates on its axis, which takes about 24 hours to complete a full rotation. As the Earth spins, one hemisphere faces the Sun and experiences daylight, while the opposite hemisphere is turned away from the Sun and is in darkness. This continuous rotation creates the cycle of day and night across the planet.
What do you call the Moon's surface that faces earth?
The Moon's surface that faces Earth is called the near side. This side of the Moon is what we see from Earth and is the side that is always facing towards us due to its synchronous rotation with Earth.
How are solstices and equinox related to seasons?
They are related to seasons because of the tilt. When the Earth tilts the sun faces the Southern Hemisphere so since the nothern hemisphere has no light we have summer in the southern, but when the sun moves in to the northern hemisphere we have winter.
What is the phase of the moon that happens when the lighted half faces away from earth?
If the hemisphere that is 'lit' is facing away from the earth then it is a new moon
The same side of the moon always faces what?
The Earth.
Does the far side or the near side of the moon always face the earth?

Explain why one side of the moon always faces toward the Earth while the other side always faces away form the Earth.?
It's watching us!
How many faces on a hemisphere?
there are 2 faces on a hemisphere the round side and the flat side
What is caused by the earth spinning on its axis?
Day and night. One half of the Earth is always illuminated by the Sun, while the other half faces away. The spinning of the Earth is called its rotation.
